Are you using anything on your scars? They look great, not red or raised at all.

Thanks! My ps told me nothing works any better than plain old time I tried to massage in via e oil or coconut oil the first couple months anyhow but kind of fell off the wagon on that.

I know posting must have been alot of work, but thank you so much for sharing. First off, let me tell you that I think you look great I am bringing your pic in of what I want my boobs to look like! I am very much like you, complete with the never thinking i'd get a boob job, kids, nursing, athletic, divorce and bf. But I'm 54. I also just wanted to be little bigger.. C maybe D, but everyone tells me to go to DD about 400 cc. Just wondering- How do you feel about it now?

ugh...I don't know what I hit but I lost everything I was typing for this post.
sigh
I'm ready for bed so this is going to be shorter than the original!
Things are good in boob land--kind of forget I even have implants most of the time. Two months was the big landmark month where everything leveled out for me--I'm feeling pretty comfortable with my new body these days.
I finally uploaded a video. I had to prop my phone on the toothbrush holder so the angle and lighting isn't good--I don't know how all you other girls make such nice videos. I am sad to say I also did not include the background [RS bleep] music I always think should accompany the rs video clips--maybe next time :-)

I'm still figuring out sizing--sometimes I need a small--sometimes a large in swimsuit tops/bras/etc....it's tricky, tricky tricky tricky....

I started the Farrell's 10 week challenge to get my body back in beach shape--I've been really lax this year and needed a kick in the a$$! Boy, did I get it--this program is awesome and by awesome I mean need to potty in handicapped stalls because you can stand up without help anymore! I'm doing tons of upper body work (my ps was fine with it--I know others say no) and I don't notice I have implants--probably because of the fast pace! I do LOVE my boobs in work out clothes--it's my very favorite part of my ba! I looked so pathetic before in a sports bra--I didn't even need one. So I'm enjoying that!

My scars seems pretty good--I'll add a pic. I was covering them with electrical tape when I tanned--the color difference I think makes them look worse than they would if my skin was all the same light color.

Okay
That's it for now.
Oh--and I'm not doing well with the new rs update-I have a hard time keeping up on my phone (which is where I do 99% of my rs work). It's just not as easy--so if I've missed your update--I'm really sorry! I miss hearing from all my regular girls--I hope you're all doing well!!

you look amazing. it keeps me motivated for the next few months. I'm only 3 weeks out. I still feel like I have something foreign in my body most of the time. Still not able to work out yet per the ps. do you feel like there is a big change from month one to month 2 in how they feel and look?

Wow!!! They look fantastic! I love how much squishy and jiggle you have! I would seriously think that if you were running along that your bounce would be very natural looking.

Omg they look amazing! They look so soft and the movement is so real! This video will be extremely helpful and inspiring for women considering the same implants :). Happy to hear that they aren't getting in the way of your work outs, that's fantastic!

thank you anna1989! i've been meaning to post one for awhile because there isn't as much info out there about these implants since they are newer! finally got it done!! thought the video surprises me when i watch it back--i didn't think they had that much jiggle from my viewpoint :-)

So true anna1989. I was so up and down and just couldn't make up my mind. My surgeon has been highly recommending the anatomical textured, but I was so worried about them being too firm and rotating. After seeing all these pics and especially seeing this video, it's helped me so much to feel confident in my choice of implant. So excited now :)))

Did you get textured implants? If so, they have a lot more movement than I would have expected! Is your surgeon worried that they will rotate? I have a lot of movement in the pocket with my smooth rounds so its a good thing mine aren't anatomical! Haha!

hi myaatocjourney! yep--they are textured anatomical. my ps said the only risk of rotating is the few days after surgery (and it's very rare) after that they are adhered to your tissue and unable to rotate. the adhering part both brings me comfort and weirds me out!!

They look so good! Mine are about the same, but smaller. I love it! I hadn't imagined they'd get such movement. My mom had breast implants in the 80s (and then removed in the 90s due to problems with the silicone implants they were using back then) and when she saw mine she couldn't believe how real they looked compared to what she had back then. I'm glad you are becoming more comfortable with them. I am too. Sometimes it is hard to imagine my body flat chested the way it used to be.

Thanks tralala! Glad you're really happy! Amazing what modern medicine can do! When I see my before pics I can't help but shudder a little. Hope we both have many happy years with our new girls!
